According the numbers for the rate of suicide in Singapore, between 2011 and 2015, there was an average of 415 deaths from suicides each year.

This is just too many! Living in Singapore is getting too stressful, that suicide numbers also quite high. Interesting to see out of the suicides, which was the age group with the highest number of deaths from suicide. Education stress, financial stress, family stress, everything stressful. For some, living in Singapore is not as heavenly anymore.

Last time, our grandparents and parents do all sorts of jobs on top of their day-to-day job to survive, and yet are able to raise so many kids, and still live happily as a family.

Now, you see many people working long hours on their one and only job, at the expense of family time, and complain so much that prices are just too expensive to start raising kids. Those whose jobs are not that high paying, will struggle to save enough money to even start a family. Some people work too long hours, in the end, marriage affected and divorce occurs.

I have known my PRC wife for 6 years plus before we ROM-ed last year. We are living in my parent's house till she gets her PR. But recently, she said she could not stand the way my family handle things and accuses us of bullying her. Now my family is in tremendous stress as she will make a scene in dead of the night and wake the whole family up. She is not working at the moment but the rest of us are. She keeps repeating that she wants a divorce. Due to her excellent timing to make a scene, I'm worried about my parent's health.

When I tell my CG leader that I am stressed out, they can't do anything much and my mum tells them that I have anxiety issues, not realising that CHC and she coercing me to go are the cause of it. I even have a psychiatrist letter proving I have that condition. My mother however has it worse. Since attending CHC, she became very paranoid and very anxious. Anything that does not go her way smoothly, she will make the ridiculous claim that the Devil is acting against her, like having a minor car accident etc. Sometimes when she presses the wrong number on her mobile, she would blame the Devil for it. She keeps worrying about things and scolds me for being anxious when she in fact, is anxious herself!
